I met Lance on a couple occasions. Once after a gig the Aaron MacDonald Band did with Nero circa 2002 or 2003, The band stayed up with him, his brother or brother in law and his dog and had our own little all night party. Lance had so many stories and he'd be talking so fast and for so long that we all couldn't help but loose concentration on what he was saying. He was definitely a kind spirited man and I'm sure a legend of Rock n Roll in Canada. He's not a man that you could easily forget. I saw him do the door, tend to the bar, adjust the sound and still have time to play with the lights... he was an incredible host and I'm sure it's a huge loss to Ottawa Music Scene. I will say though there's a hard living side to Lance and I can't only surmise that it caught up to him in the end. Lots of love to you Lance - you're a original RIP.

This Friday!

I didn't like Kanye's performance, but maybe I just don't like Kanye in general... Lyrics like "Suicide in my bedroom" or repeating the word "Clit" just seemed wrong. I didn't see Alicia Keys earlier bit, but I do like the NY song she did, wish it had Jay-Z and that rocking drum intro.

Winner of the ticket contest was Sarah Bolton. Congrats! And thanks to all who took part. Make sure you all get your tickets tomorrow at 10 am for the on-sale here: http://bit.ly/XZB4JR

was that also the birth of Kev'O show page?

"...according to the Mayan calender the 21st of December marks the end of non-time and the beginning of time. it is the end of the Macha & the beginning of Pacha.

My wife is from Belleville and we got married there last summer at Alberts College. There's a side of Belleville that is really picturesque - beautiful historic homes and downtown buildings. Downtown area is a little bleak, cute businesses, but some some empty or failing businesses... the Mega Quinte Mall and surrounding box stores and plazas have really hurt the downtown core, but has all the necessities and then some.. There is a revitalization going on, a restaurant opening and further development of waterfront areas. My favorite spot the "Bohemian Penquin" shut down a couple years ago and was a spot for folk/rock music and inexpensive food. The County as it's known is only a short drive from down and it's an exciting area full of wineries, bed n breakfasts and cute cottage industries. Sandbanks Provincial Park also in that area. There are definitely worse places you could be than Belleville, i'd put Sudbury, Sarnia, Windsor, Cornwall as worse places. -J
